Public Health Business Plan for HMRRP

The Business Plan program applies to facilities that handle, store or use hazardous materials over certain amounts called threshold quantities. The purpose of this program is to prevent and minimize damage to workers, the public, and enhance public safety by training facility personnel to respond adequately to a release or threatened release of a hazardous material. Additionally, the Business Plan program is used to satisfy federal and state Community Right-To-Know laws by providing detailed information about hazardous material stored a facility for use by emergency responders, planning officials and the community. These purposes are realized through a comprehensive program of Business Plan review, facility inspection, assistance to regulated businesses, enforcement and public education.
